Has anyone had any experience damaging a BT cable whilst doing excavation works? Or getting BT openreach to temporarily disconnect the cable to allow excavations? I have to bring the services though a shared drive with limited space. There are neighbors' outbuildings on both side of the drive, so I don't want to come too close to them. The middle of the drive has already gas, water, electrics and BT. I did get BT people come for a survey on site to see if they could disconnect the line temporarily, so we can roll up the cable and have a clear space for the trench. They were not conclusive whether it was possible. They didn't know if the cable was ducted or buried. The contractor said they'll just dig around existing utilities avoiding coming too close to the outbuildings, but if the cable gets damaged during works, what are the likely consequences (what sort of damage charges am I likely to face)? The line is copper. I attach the PDF with utility map Many thanks Utility Detection Survey.pdf
